Therapy Process

Depending on your individual needs, I use a combination of the following therapeutic techniques and approaches: 
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to feel/act better even if the situation does not change. It is considered among the most rapid therapeutic treatment modalities in terms of results obtained. 
  • Family Systems is based on the idea that individuals are best understood through assessing the entire family. Symptoms in individuals are seen as expressions of dysfunctions. The family is an interactional unit and a change in one member effects all members.
  • The Humanistic method takes a positive view of human nature and emphasizes the uniqueness of the individual. Through this tradition, we will explore the nature of creativity, love, and self-actualization; helping you to realize your potential through change and self-directed growth.

Therapy Sessions
Each therapy session is 50 minutes.  In some cases, depending on your needs, we can arrange to meet for longer sessions, or for multiple sessions during the week.  I also offer sessions via cyber or teleconferencing.


Fees
I offer a sliding scale and will work with you to determine a manageable fee.
